Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The next release of libfreetype6-dev will *not* ship
`freetype-config', as the script has now been deprecated in favour of
`pkg-config'.
This is an upstream change:
"Use of the `freetype-config' script to get compilation and
linking options is deprecated since it doesn't support
cross-compiling, among other deficiencies. Instead, you should
use the `pkg-config' interface." [1]
Please use `pkg-config' to detect the FreeType 2 headers and
libraries in libsdl-sge.
If this bug is not resolved prior to the release of FreeType 2.9.1,
your package may FTBFS.
Thank you
